Chapter 116

Hailey's POV

"What do you mean by that? Which of the Hailey?" Philip asked.

"How many Haileys do you know? You stole my mate away from me and you still pride yourself in being an Alpha," he fired back. The sound of shattered glass made me glance back in surprise. I was met with the shocked expressions of Cole, Ria, John, and... "Father? Mother?" I called out nervously. I quickly stood up from the floor.

"What did he mean by what he just said?" Mother muttered. I hurriedly walked towards her.

"It didn't mean anything. He's lying because he has been caught red-handed. Don't believe him. He's lying," I pleaded desperately.

"You don't have to pretend anymore, Hailey. The truth is out now, it has been long overdue," Jance said.

"Shut up. Not another word or I will have you thrown out," I threatened boiling with rage. "Do you know whose reputation you are trying to tarnish? I could lock you away for the rest of your life if I wanted to," I continued.

"It was you, wasn't it?" Emma asked. I turned towards her.

"What are you on about now?" I inquired. She chuckled coldly.

"You took the pictures, didn't you? It all makes sense now. You hated me so much that you made Jance kidnap and try to r**e me while you stood there and took pictures of us so you could show the boys. I wouldn't put it past you to do that," she said. "Rape? Pictures? Hailey, what is she accusing you of?" Father asked.

"I'm as confused as you are. I have no idea...," I was cut off abruptly by a slap to the face. My head whipped to the other side as I held my stinging cheeks in pain. I looked towards Emma in shock but she continued to slap me repeatedly.

"You lying, manipulating, conniving b***h. How could you?" she growled. My body felt frozen at a spot and I could not move.

"Ximena, stop it," Cole said, coming towards us to pull her away. She pushed Cole away angrily. Her eyes turned to a bright golden hue and her claws lengthened. I backed away slowly and fearfully.

"I won't spare you. I will make sure I end you right here. Your mere existence is a disgrace," she growled coming towards me. But, Jance stepped in her way. Her sharpened claws that were raised ended up striking him in the chest. Blood spilled out immediately. I covered my mouth in horror.

"Emma, stop," Philip said when she pushed Jance aside and lounged towards me again.

"She deserves to die," Emma continued to chant. Philip pulled her towards him and hugged her.

"Let me go!" Emma screamed as she clawed Philip's back repeatedly. She struggled and thrashed but Philip didn't leave her or even flinch. Blood pulled on his white shirt.

"Oh my! Phil," Mother exclaimed in shock.

"It's fine. You are fine," Philip consoled Emma calmly. She finally stopped thrashing and her breathing slowed down. He gently let her go. "You good?" he asked. She nodded.

"Can someone explain to me what on earth is going on here?" Father asked.

"I came here today to take Hailey along. She's my mate and isn't supposed to be married to your son. He deceived you all," Jance said.

"Alex? Is this true? Is what this young man saying the truth? Don't you dare try to lie your way out of this again because I'm going to carry out a thorough investigation immediately after I leave here," Mother threatened.

"He's trying to turn us against each other. Can't you see that? I choose whoever I want to marry and it's no one's business," I replied.

"It's true. Hailey and I aren't mates. We've been lying and deceiving everyone into thinking we were," Alex confessed. Mother gasped and staggered while Father held onto her to stop her from falling. "Mother? Are you okay?" I called out walking towards her.

"Stand right there. Don't come any closer," she warned which made me stop abruptly in my steps. I glanced at everyone who was staring at me with disappointed gazes. I walked towards Jance angrily.

"This is all your fault. If you hadn't come here, this never would have happened. What have you gained from this? Do you think I would agree to mate with you after this stunt you just pulled?" I screamed at him. "Aren't you tired of all the secrets? Because I am. I know what I did was wrong which was why I admitted it to everyone. I also apologize to Emma..." Alex cut him off by punching him hard in the face.

"Apologize? Do you know the gravity of what you've done? Do you know how many lives you've ruined?" he growled. Jance laughed, spitting out the blood in his mouth.

"Don't blame me for your foolishness. You all threw your mates out due to a few random pictures. Don't blame me for your insecurities and lack of trust," he spat. Xander walked towards him and punched him. "Shut up," he said.

"Hitting me won't change the truth," he replied. Cole also punched him.

"How dare you touch Ximena with those filthy hands of yours," he growled. John, Alex, Cole, Philip, Alex, and Julian all surrounded him and punched him repeatedly.

"Stop it. You are going to kill him. Someone stop them," I yelled repeatedly. Soon enough, Jance was wheezing and coughing out blood. He was a bloodied mess. I almost thought they had killed him.

"What sort of madness is this? Alex, Xander, is this the type of behavior you should be portraying?" Father screamed at them which finally made them stop taking turns with Jance.

"Mate? Who is your mate?" Mother asked.

"Emma is," Philip replied. Mother gasped again.

"What's all this mess? Why didn't you just tell us about her? Were you scared because of her status? You know we would have accepted her if she was truly your mate no matter what the council said. Why did you do all this?" Mother asked the boys in surprise. They stood silently without saying anything.

"Won't you speak up?" Father yelled at them. At this moment, I knew no matter what I said, I would not be believed. Jance had succeeded in ruining what I worked hard to build.

"I will tell you why. Aren't you curious about how we turned out to be mates?" Emma asked our parents.

"You know, after my parents left me here in the pack house, I accepted my fate of having to be an omega slave for the rest of my life. I never thought that I would be more than a slave. This pack house was like hell for me. I blamed myself for the constant bullying from your sons and their snide remarks thinking the problem was with me. I was made to believe I was the problem. I was an outcast in school because of your precious kids and to be honest, it was not entirely their fault. You left teenagers all on their own without any guidance. What did you think was going to happen?" Emma asked them as she recounted the story up until when she was almost raped.

A tear fell from Mother's eyes. "Emma, I'm so sorry. I never knew all those things were happening to you. I never raised my children to become bullies. I know how you feel. You must be angry and enraged at all of us," Mother apologized.

"No, you have no idea how I feel. I've had to carry this trauma for a very long time. At first, I considered suicide so that I could end everything but I'm glad I didn't. This might live with me for the rest of my life but at least, I learned from it and it helped me grow into who I am now. All the anger and resentment I felt previously just weighed me down but now, I feel nothing and I sincerely have nothing against your sons anymore," she responded.

"I don't know what I ever did to warrant your hatred but I really don't care anymore.."

"Shut up," I whispered. I have had enough of her and her nobility.

"Emma, Emma, Emma. It's always been about you. You know, I was the happiest when I heard you had died. Why didn't you just stay dead?" I yelled angrily.

"Hailey! What are you saying?" Ria asked.

"I'm telling the truth. Isn't everyone talking about how they truly feel? Well, I'm doing the same. What did I do so wrong that nobody has ever done before? I agree I am not Alexander's mate and I never truly loved him. The only reason I wanted to be with them was to fulfill my dreams. Being Luna. But, they only ever had eyes for Emma and I thought, what was so special about her anyway? Which was why I did everything in my power to separate them." I laughed maniacally.

"Yes, I sent Emma death threats and I asked Jance to kidnap her and sleep with her so I could take pictures of them together. What is so wrong with what I did to achieve my dreams? Why are you all staring at me like I've just committed the biggest sin of all? Tell me!" I yelled at them.
